Highclere Castle and Looking for Ancestors


Highclere Castle from afar, as close as we could get.

Sorry, the castle was closed. It it only open during the summer for 2 months


Sheep grazing everywhere around the castle



Headstone of a relative?

The rock around this entry way is all done in flint.

Notice the oddity of the big black fly in the glass!

The windows are beautiful but simple compared with some of the 
large churches we have been in.



"The Vickerage" A charming house across the yard from the church

Parish Church. Some of the Wigmore and Minall family are buried here.


Record's office

Looking through years of micro fiche trying to find 
Mary Mildenhall or Minall or her father-in-law...to no avail.
